PTZ patrolling
When you configure scheduling (see "Configure camera-specific schedules" on page 66) for PTZ
(pan-tilt-zoom) cameras capable of patrolling (see "PTZ patrolling" on page 102), you can specify
which patrolling profiles to use at specific times. Before you can define this type of schedule, you must
configure patrolling for the relevant cameras.
Name Description
PTZ Patrolling
Only available for PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras with patrolling, the
continuous movement of a PTZ camera between a number of
preset positions. Lets you select the required profile for the PTZ
patrolling schedule (see "PTZ patrolling" on page 136) for the
camera(s) in question.
You specify a camera's patrolling schedule based on patrolling
profiles within particular periods of time (example: Mondays from
08.30 until 17.45), shown in red:
Use of one patrolling profile may be followed immediately by use of another (example: use the
Daytime patrolling profile Mondays from 08.30 until 17.45, then the Evening patrolling profile Mondays
from 17.45 until 23.00). Use of two patrolling profiles cannot overlap.
Unlike other types of scheduling, there are no ready-made Always on and Always off schedule
profiles for PTZ patrolling. You can create any number of customized schedule profiles for each
camera. When you create a customized schedule profile (see "Configure camera-specific schedules"
on page 66) for one camera, you can reuse it with other cameras if required.
Matrix
About Matrix video sharing
The Matrix feature allows distributed viewing of live video from any camera to any Matrix-recipient on a
network operating with Milestone Husky product. A computer on which Matrix-triggered video can be
viewed is known as a Matrix recipient. In order to become a Matrix recipient, the computer must have
the XProtect Smart Client installed.
For more information about Matrix video sharing, refer to the XProtect Smart Client User's Manual,
available on the Milestone Husky product software DVD as well as from
www.milestonesys.com , or
the XProtect Smart Client's own built-in help system.
There are two ways in which Matrix-triggered video can appear on a Matrix-recipient:

Manual triggering: Another user wants to share important video, and sends it from XProtect
Smart Client
—or from a custom-made web page—to the required Matrix-recipient.

Automatic triggering: Video is sent to the relevant Matrix-recipient automatically when a
predefined event occurs, for example when a door sensor detects that a door is opened, or
when the surveillance system detects motion in the video from a camera.
